A small, distinctive marine shrimp recognized by its long, duck-billed snout (rostrum) and transparent body marked with brown and white stripes. It is found on Indo-Pacific coral reefs and is popular in aquariums for its peaceful nature. Well suited for beginner to intermediate keepers, it blends in easily among algae and corals and feeds on small food particles.
